FGF13 Antibody

FGF13 is probably involved in nervous system development and function.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion. This gene is located to a region associated with Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS), a syndromal X-linked mental retardation, which suggests it may be a candidate gene for familial cases of the BFL syndrome. The function of this gene has not yet been determined. Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store FGF13 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

FGF13 antibody can be used for detection of FGF13 by ELISA at 1:62500. FGF13 antibody can be used for detection of FGF13 by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
